Christian,

I posted this in the thread you posted in the GT section.

"Empty weight - 3394.9 lbs (Manual transmission) and 3494.1 lbs (Tiptronic S)"

If anyone wants either of the above mentioned owner's manuals in PDF format, they are available for download on www.renntech.org. Or you can PM your email address to me and I can send it to you.

IMHO the 300 pounds or so understates the difference. The GT2 has PCCB brakes which I believe are half the weight of the TT's brakes (if they don't have the PCCB upgrade. Rotational weight makes a huge difference. I think we are talking about nearly 50 pound difference in rotational weight..

What did you do to get yours down to 2900 lbs? How much do GT3 seats save compared to stock sport seats?
